Now we are getting a positive response.
PRISM has a process to deal with unethical behavior.
ARMA has Standard 'Guideline for Offsite Storage Facilities' that should be
some help.
and ARMA has a process for writing new standards.
My last recommendation to my Records Management friends is to stop signing
those one-sided contracts.
Create a Statement of Work, as Doug from 360 recommended, that dictates
your needs, is in line with your records management policies and protects
your company's assets.

> I have been reviewing this thread for the last several days and while

> posting the PRISM International Code of Ethics.
>
> In case members of this list are unfamiliar with PRISM (Professional
> Records and Information Services Management) International and our
> Code of Ethics, we are a trade association, (our members are
> organizations not individuals), of information outsourcing companies.
> Our members include not only physical records and information
> management outsourcing companies but also data protection services
> providers, imaging conversion services and confidential destruction
> services providers (though NAID is more focused in the destruction
> area than PRISM International is). We frequently cooperate with ARMA,
> the ARMA International Educational Foundation, and just this year
> signed a memorandum of understanding with the Records Management
> Association of AustralAsia. We consult and cooperate with other
> information management associations as well, such as AIIM and ICA.
>
> PRISM International is quite serious about its Code of Ethics. If
> there are those on this list who feel that the actions of a PRISM
> International member violate the code of ethics of our organization,
> here is the procedure for reporting the violation:
>
> 1) A written complaint stating the specific actions taken by the PRISM
> International member that are in violation of the code of ethics
> should be sent to me at [log in to unmask] or sent by mail to the
> address of PRISM International shown below.
> 2) Once a complaint is received, I notify the President of our
> organization who then refers the complaint to our Ethics Complaint
> Committee for investigation. The committee gathers relevant facts from
> both parties and then makes a recommendation to our President as to
> whether the complaint should be heard by our Board of Directors.
> 3) If the President refers the matter to the Board, parties may appear
> with counsel and make formal presentations. The Board of PRISM
> International sits as a jury during these proceedings and renders a
> decision that can include, at its harshest level, expulsion from the
> membership of PRISM International.
>
> Thanks for the opportunity to re-introduce our organization to newer
> members of the list and to clarify our ethics complaint procedures.

> Sincerely,
